    Sunburned testacles?

    We have a bull we are leasing and it appears that his testicles have been sunburned. It developed over the course of a couple weeks and does not seem to be getting any better. There is no hair on the lower  two thirds of his scrotum but seems to have hair everywhere else on his body. The skin on...

    Investment Question

    I have an associate interested in possibly investing in the show cattle business.  He is thinking purchasing a nice heifer and showing her then entering into embryo production and selling embryos is the way he wants to go.  I would be in a consulting role in this operation.  I am thinking the...

    Best Charolais Bull to Add Depth

    I have a charolais cow, plenty stylish, maybe a tick large framed, looking for a purebred bull to moderate just a touch, and add some depth.  Used Jesse James last year, got a very nice heifer calf, but like mama could use a little more depth.  Hoping for a heifer that we can show.

    One shot Lutalyse

    Had another producer say you are not supposed to breed on the first heat cycle after doing the single shot Lutalyse.  What would be the reasoning?  I'm having trouble seeing how it's ok to breed after lute during the multi-day protocols, but not after the single shot?

    Foundation Simmental

    Am I reading the rules right that a heifer must be 50% Simmental to show in the foundation classes?  Do simmentals register to 25%?  If they do, could a 3/8 heifer still show in the AOB classes?

    Info on a couple bulls

    We bought a semen tank and it had some semen already in it.  Curious to what people's opinions are of these bulls: Foreplay:  Know he's a little older, would he still work today, and if so on what type of cow.  Is he heifer safe? Smooth Criminal:  Shorthorn, interested what he would work on?

    Stopping Frame Size Growth

    I have seen talk on here before about "Burning One Out" and am curious if it actually works, and if so, what is the best way to go about it.  From what I remember in the past, it's basically feeding a finisher ration, or high fat, from the time they're younger, to build fat rather than frame. ...

    Trailer wiring

    I am having trouble with the wiring on my pickup.  I have blinkers and clearance lights, as well as electric brakes, but no brake lights.  I only have trailer brakes if I squeeze the brake control module, not by hitting the brake pedal.  I also checked the fuses and they are all ok, as well as...

    Chances of a Blue Roan out of Choppin Wood

    We had a PB shorthorn bred to what I thought was Choppin Wood.  You can imagine my surprise when she calved a blue roan heifer.  I thought right away that we pulled a wrong straw, however, I am wondering, with the way the smoke gene works, could it have come from Choppin Wood?  I may be wrong...

    Halter Breaking Problem

    I have a heifer, weighing about 550, that we're having trouble with in the halter.  I had her where she would take a couple steps when you pulled on the halter, and then I would stop and pet her.  This was going pretty well until the day my dad came out to "help."  He decided the best bet was to...

    Accuracy of TH test

    We sent in three TH test and all came back free.  I am happy about this, however, wonder about any contamination giving a false test?  One of them was out of a DF Vegas cow, one was Milkman breeding, and one was out of Believe in Me.  Just wondering how they do the test and how accurate it is. ...

    Heifer with light bloat?

    I have a heifer whose left side is always slightly larger than her right.  She has never had loose stools, or any other symptoms of an upset stomach, other than this.  She is on free choice sorghumXsudan hay, and in with a group of 4 other calves.  They are receiving 40-45 pounds per day fed...

    Daughters First Year Showing

    Here are some pictures of my 5 year old daughter, Shaylee, showing her bucket calf.  The calf is one we bought to replace a calf that died at a couple hours old.  She went out every night and worked with him herself.  She did most of the clipping on him, and all the washing and blowing.  This...

    Late May steer calf market

    We had a heifer calve today, ended up losing her calf.  I'm wondering though, how much of a market there is for late May born steer calves?  It seems like they would be almost too small for a midwest fair, but too big for Ft. Worth, etc.  She was a first calf heifer, but is calving a little over...

    FSF Assassin, FSF Starburst, or LCCC Churchill

    Have a group of shorthorns we are going to be breeding in the next month, curious what people's thoughts are on these three bulls?  Most of the cows are well made, feminine, could be moderated, and wouldn't hurt to make them a little flashier.  They are all sound and milk well.  Would be looking...
